Been watching Channel 5's All Creatures Great and Small. I don't like it as much as the BBC version. The sets are too perfect and pristine, the costumes the same, there is less focus on the clients, less focus on the animals, and it doesn't feel as authentic. Gone is the Yorkshire dialect, too. It's too polished.
It also doesn't remind me of my elderly relatives, all now gone, who lived through that era, nor does it remind me of how vets were when I was a kid. That world is gone. It probably suffers from the lack of input from people who lived in those times. Robert Hardy who played Siegfried in the BBC version actually knew Tolkien and C. S. Lewis.
